I found this video and watched it thinking it would be interesting. What I did not expect is for me to be second guessing the story. From the description on the video "Mr. Samuel J. Seymour, the last living eyewitness to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C. was the mystery guest on the February 8, 1956 episode of the I've Got a Secret game show. ". Now where it became interesting for me is when they brought him out and he had a bandage over his eye... the black eye. Then the story came.. and I found it odd how he was 5 years old and was at the theater with some good "friends". If interested here is the link to the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RPoymt3Jx4 Sorry for youtube I don't know where else to find it.

I came to say "don't fall for it" but I see you didn't.
Cracking the Lincoln story would go a long way towards today's continuation.
Same $hit, different day.
btw, "Lincoln" was an Enloe/Enlow who was a Rothschild agent.
And who was Josh Speed?
History is way more interesting than any movie or history book.
How downvoter: Would you like some sauce?
Come out into the light and play
The article says that it was his nurse, or nanny, and the wife of his father's boss that took him. So they must have been fairly well off to afford servants.
Servants worked for cheap when there were hordes of unemployed and no social services to mooch off of.
